[mythtv-users] How do I move an old database to an upgraded Back End (0.25 – 0.27)

How do I move an old database to an upgraded Back End (0.25 – 0.27)

What I am trying to do is move my database from the old Back End 
fixes/0.25(v0.25.2-15-g46cab93 (Ubuntu 10.4 32 bit) to a new 
Back End 0.27.0+fixes .20140324.8ee257c-0 ubuntu3 (Ubuntu 12.04 
64 bit).

The user and computer names are the same.

I first tried compiling on the new Back End, but that failed. 
Then I used the Ubuntu Software Center to install MythTV Front 
End.  It prompted me for the database password and I used the 
same one.  I see the Back End already running in System Monitor, 
so I couldn't restore my old database before it ran configure.

My backup copy of the MythTV 0.25 database does not have the 
MySQL Time Zone Tables.  The 0.27 database should have them, but 
does the database restore wipe them out?


Can I put my old database copy into /home and use the 
mythconverg_restore.pl --directory /home/mythtv --filename 
mythconverg-1214-20080626150513.sql.gz script?


I assume that I have to shut down the Back End first.  What is 
the command for that in MythTV 0.27 fixes?
